Apply through the official portal
Register on Egypt’s eVisa portal, complete the application and await approval. Download and print the approved visa for arrival. Payment or an application reference is not the approval itself.

Keep your arrival documents together
Carry your passport, printed eVisa, itinerary and hotel details. Check the dates and passport number on your approval before departure. Keep a paper copy with your travel documents so you can reach it without mobile data.

Before leaving Egypt
Keep the entry stamp in your passport: Canada warns that proof of entry is required for departure. If you replace your passport in Egypt, have the stamp transferred through Egyptian immigration.
Taba’s 14-day Sinai-only stamp does not cover a mainland itinerary. Check the full-country visa arrangements before using that crossing.
